Hi, i would like to know your opinions about vaccine please. I decide to dont let my 3 years old daughter have the vaccine and i was wondering if there are other mums that think the same as me

which vaccine are you talking about?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 28/02/2013 16:16

Very generally speaking the possible/rumoured side effects of any vaccine are far less serious/likely than the side effects of the disease itself.

its the MMR vaccine and to be honest i dont like any others at all, i read the side effects and i dont think that there are less serious, plus they dont tell us whats inside the vaccine and more

If she has three has she not already had her first dose of MMR?

What side effects are you concerned about?

PhyllisDoris · 28/02/2013 17:35

Have you ever seen a child with measles, mumps or rubella? I am old enough to have, and they aren't nice diseases.

usualsuspect · 28/02/2013 17:38

There is a vaccination topic, maybe you could read that?

balia · 28/02/2013 17:40

You can get full ingredients lists of all vaccines - was there a specific ingredient you were worried about?

Itsjustafleshwound · 28/02/2013 17:41

Do a search in children's health for LOTS of discussions about the MMR vaccine.

Pollykitten · 28/02/2013 17:41

this isn't a real post. I smell a journalist rat....

Itsjustafleshwound · 28/02/2013 17:43

Then there are all those children genuinely unable to have the injection ... Who rely on the 'herd immunity'

Trazzletoes · 28/02/2013 17:47

mon what exactly are the MMR side effects?

Because measles can cause death. How on earth is that "less serious" than something you think MMR can give you?

You may find you get more sympathy/understanding if you posted in the Vaccination topic, but not much.

Please feel free to link to the research that you've done.

Trazzletoes · 28/02/2013 17:48

fleshwound indeed. My DS is reliant on herd immunity. I understand sometimes there are good reasons not to vaccinate but threads like this really test my patience.

MMr doesn't have aluminium in, your every day food does and it is breastmilk and formula.

Blipbip · 28/02/2013 21:58

vaccine here some bedtime reading on the mmr vaccine

If your daughter has no reaction to the first vaccine she is unlikely to have no reaction to the second.

The side effects of the diseases it protects against ate both common and serious.
